2. It’s A Small World Meal Sets – Amara – $39
OMG could these be any cuter? These little guys are a cup, bowl and plate that form a cute little person inspired by Disney’s It’s A Small World ride! I feel like they could get any kid excited about eating dinner. Such a cute gift, too!

3. DIY Wooden Peg Family Craft Kit – Goose Grease – $28
You guys, I cannot even begin to explain how much I love these little peg people. Goose Grease sells these amazing customized families that come delivered in shadow boxes (like this), but they’re pretty pricey. For those on a budget like myself, this DIY kit is fantastic. Sure your DIY peg family probably won’t look as cute as the one in the photo, but how fun that you made it yourself! Perfect addition to any gallery wall or bookshelf!

4. Ceramic Planter – Lowes – $34.98
I saw this planter in the store and it took every fiber of my being to not buy it. The picture doesn’t fully show the gorgeous greens and blues. It really looks like a piece of art. So much nicer than my plain terra cotta pots. Sigh.

5. Milford 7-piece Place Card Set – Birch Lane – $28
So I got this new catalog in the mail from a place called Birch Lane. Everything about it looks like Pottery Barn, from the products to the typeface used in the catalog. The prices seem a bit lower, however, and they did have some things I hadn’t seen in Pottery Barn. Take, for example, these cool reusable place cards! I love this idea! They come with a wipe off pen, too. Awesome!

I hope you had a fantastic weekend. On Sunday we finally had a day of nice weather here in Chicago! My kids went nuts playing outside, and I was so happy to whip out a can of spray paint and work on a project outdoors!

Spring might be here (fingers crossed!), and its arrival was definitely on my mind as I selected my inspired items for March. All of these products have a wee bit (or more) of happiness worked into them, and they all just make me smile.

1. Kate Spade Scalloped Card-Holding iPhone Case– $35 (Nordstrom)
I have professed my love for scallops many times on this blog, so unless you’re a new reader, you probably aren’t surprised that I love this iPhone case. In addition to the design, I love the fact that you can stick a few cards in the back for those quick trips out when you don’t want to lug an entire bag of stuff with you. I must have this!2. “Happy” Statement Necklace – $48 (Bauble Bar)
I’m totally addicted to Pharrell’s catchy song, Happy, and it kinda makes me want to buy this necklace. Yeah, it’s a little bit ridiculous, but in a fun and how-can-you-not-like-it way.3. “Nuance” Ponytail Holders – $24 (Anthropologie)
Sigh. I love how Anthropologie can make even the most banal items beautiful. I want my ponies to be beautifully adorned with softly colored ties dripping in jewels. I want an ordinary hair-do to be a little less ordinary.4. Jonathan Adler for TOMS – $58.95 (Nordstrom)
TOMS are my favorite “mom shoes” because they’re comfy and you can slip in and out of them without putting down the baby, your bag, your keys, the sippy cup, and everything else you’re holding. Jonathan Adler’s fun prints for Spring make me want yet another pair of TOMS. The only problem is I can’t decide which print I like best.5. Hot Air Balloon Birdhouse – $38 (Anthropologie)
I mean really, could these be any cuter? I NEED one of these. I wouldn’t even put it outside – it would have to be somewhere in my house. No bird poop on this baby!

So what do you think about my inspired items for March? Do they make you happy?

Thank you to Cutting Edge Stencils for providing the stencil used in this project and the prize to be awarded in the giveaway. The project and opinions are all my own. One thing I love is giving a plain object new life and personality with a simple change. Stenciling the seats of my beat up kitchen […]

Several years ago I refinished my childhood dresser for use in my son’s bedroom. I recently got the matching lingerie chest of drawers back from my sister, and I couldn’t wait to give it a makeover, too! My son’s room has enough furniture already, so I decided to make over this piece for my husband […]

Several weeks ago my kids and I were driving when I spotted a table in the alley behind our church. Like the dedicated furniture hoarder that I am, I immediately threw the car into reverse and backed into the alley to check it out. It was an old drop leaf table that hadn’t sold at […]

Two things I love love love are Rifle Paper Co. and furniture makeovers. If you’re not familiar with Rifle Paper Co, check out their website. Their floral and whimsical patterns are right up my alley. I’ve used their patterned papers on several projects, including this Console Table Makeover, my grandma’s Side Table Makeover, and most […]
